Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
An HCV antibody test is used as screening test only. It detects the presence of antibodies to the virus, indicating previous exposure to HCV.If the test is "weakly positive," it may be a false positive.CDC recommends that all positive antibody tests be followed by an HCV RNA test that detects viral RNA in the blood and detects an active infection.So you must get this confirmatory test done to clear the confusion.Take care
